Siyuan Wang 6f05c2eb59 AMD rd890 late.c: Don't enable PCIe ports after PCIe init.
PCIE devices are detected and initialized by the AMD PCIe init functions,
which is in cimx rd890. The parameters are read from devicetree.cb before PCIe init.
Now, all bridges and devices are trained on the device 0.0 enable.
After PCIe init, the PCIe ports with devices are on and the PCIe ports
without devices are off. so resources may be allocated correctly
during the rest of the PCI scan.

But if the devicetree was being used to enable/disable devices after initialization,
the problems would arise. Take a look at the serial log:

do_pci_scan_bridge for PCI: 00:02.0
PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 01
PCI: pci_scan_bus returning with max=001
do_pci_scan_bridge returns max 1
do_pci_scan_bridge for PCI: 00:03.0
PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 02
PCI: pci_scan_bus returning with max=002
do_pci_scan_bridge returns max 2
do_pci_scan_bridge for PCI: 00:04.0
PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 03
PCI: pci_scan_bus returning with max=003
do_pci_scan_bridge returns max 3

PCI bridge 02.0, 03.0 and 04.0 are not inserted devices, but these bridges
are still scanned. This is not correct.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
